About

The Dear Hunter is an American progressive rock band originating in Providence, Rhode Island. It began as a side project of Casey Crescenzo when he was a member of the Receiving End of Sirens, before becoming his main band in 2006. The band's sound features a wide variety of instruments and styles.

Most of the band's albums up to 2016, starting with their 2006 debut album Act I: The Lake South, the River North, are concept albums and a part of a common storyline. The most recent addition is 2016's Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional, and the Acts are planned to conclude with a sixth installment. The band has also released albums without a common story; The Color Spectrum in 2011, Migrant in 2013, the EP All Is as All Should Be in 2017, Migrant Returned in 2023, and North American EP in 2025. The band is currently working on a new story line, referred to as The Indigo Child, including The Indigo Child EP in 2021, Antimai in 2022, and their latest studio album Sunya, released on March 20, 2026.
